SEED-TIME AHD HARVEST 
Two New Beans. 
BY AARON LOW. 
LOW’S CHAMPION BUSH BEAN. 
This new bean originated by 
me, and sent out for the first 
time the past season, is one of 
the best beans ever introduced. 
It is an excellent shell bean and 
as a string bean has but few, if 
any equals. It' is abundantly 
productive, and being a very 
vigorous grower, keeps the pods 
well off of the ground, free 
from mildew or blight. The 
pods are large, long and hand¬ 
some, with from five to eight 
beans in a pod. The bean, when 
ripe, is of a beautiful bright red 
color, larger in size than the 
Horticultural, and of,the finest 
flavor either green or dry. The 
foliage is remarkably strong 
and healthy, and during the 
past season, when the beans 
were fully ripe, was green and 
vigorous and free from all mildew. It Is 
%uite hardy, withstanding the severe frosts 
•f last June, which did such serious dam¬ 
age to the bean crop in this section, with¬ 
out receiving any injury from it, while 
•ther varieties were cut to the ground. All 
who want a first class bean should try this.

specialty, a very handsome largo seed pod 
bush bean, which has been quickly taken 
by dealers at high prices. It has been held 
by a few and but very little disseminated^ 
as seed could be procured only in small lets- 
at $1.00 a quart. It is remarkably product¬ 
ive, has a large showy red 
and white pod, very tender 
as a string bean, free from 
mildew, and as a shell bean 
is ahead of all others. Last 
spring I was enabled to pro¬ 
cure a stock of seed and can 
supply customers with true 
stock the coming season. I 
should advise every custom¬ 
er to give it a trial as I am 
certain any one will bo 
pleased with it. Our illus¬ 
tration represents but a sin¬ 
gle branch of a plant.
